Starting a LINE Official Account is essential in penetrating the Thailand market, but the real uphill task begins when brands attempt to grow LINE friends organically.

But fret not, let us walk you through some strategies and best practices employed by Swarovski to help you maximize your brand’s potential for LINE organic growth.  

Put LINE contact on Facebook caption to grow LINE friends organically

This strategy is simple yet effective. As a rule of thumb, Swarovski includes their LINE OA contact on almost all Facebook posts.

By using this technique, Swarovski taps into their broad Facebook fan base to drive existing fans from Facebook to LINE. 

This is exceptionally effective when Swarovski posts about price promotions, as customers tend to react by initiating conversations with the brand to find out more about product information and pricing, and LINE is typically their preferred platform for personalized one-to-one interactions.

Grab hold of opportunities to engage

The efficacy of this technique was most apparent when Swarovski rode on the k-pop wave and launched a new jewelry line inspired by the Korean drama series “Crash Landing On You”.

Since posting it up on Facebook, Swarovski experienced an influx of new friends on LINE, who mainly enquired about price and store locations, and it subsequently drove footfall traffic to Swarovski’s stores as well.

Why does Swarovski use LINE to penetrate the Thailand Market?

When we talk about the most indispensable communication applications in the daily lives of Thais, the answer is clear that LINE is one of them. LINE is the third most-used social media platform in Thailand, trailing behind just two social media giants- Facebook (93%) and YouTube (91%).

According to a survey result released by LINE, more than 70% of LINE users in Thailand prefer to receive broadcast messages about discounts and promotions, hence it is a suitable environment to push out high-quality promotional content through the Broadcast function.

Moreover, after building a sizable friends base on LINE, Swarovski also ensures that followers are kept engaged and rewarded through contests. In some contests, Swarovski’s LINE friends are notified through a Broadcast message and then redirected to Swarovski’s Facebook page to participate, hence strengthening the synergy between both platforms.
